Problems
Guerilla Maab Lyrics

Well it be too many fake people
There are too many insincere individuals

Claiming that they, be down with us
Pretending to be loyal and supportive of us

But it's too many people, that we can't see
There are so many hidden enemies and haters

Everywhere that I go, somebody want to hate me
No matter where I go, there's always someone who wants to harm or criticize me

But I really don't think, that they're gonna be
But I doubt they have the courage or ability to take any real action

Ready to take, a walk in my shoes
Prepared to experience the challenges and hardships I face

That's why I be insiders on, plus we never did nothing to nobody
That's why I stay cautious and suspicious, because we've never done anything wrong to anyone

And if they knew what we knew, then they'd leave us alone
If they had the same knowledge and understanding that we do, they would stop bothering us

Cause too much stressing, it make a nigga crazy
Because excessive stress can drive a person insane

Now I be paranoid, and watching my lady
Now I'm suspicious and constantly monitoring my partner

Praying that I see, my older brother again
Hoping to reunite with my older brother

Not knowing, it would never be the same again
Unaware that our relationship would forever be changed

So I'm still hoping for the day, I know it's gon change
So I'm still longing for the day when things will improve

And if I die, I know the pain be remaining in me
And if I die, I know the pain will persist within me

To everybody, that I live to live
To all those who want to control how I live my life

Leave me the fuck alone, and let me be
Leave me alone and allow me to live my life freely

Too many hoes want to hate, and talk bad about a bitch
There are too many women who want to hate on and criticize another woman

But mama told me, to never give a fuck
But my mother advised me not to care or worry about it

If that's what you go, be and be the coldest bitch
If that's the path you choose, then own it fully

That everybody, want to roll with
That everyone wants to associate with or be friends with

Could never keep a real ass nigga, down on my side
Could never hold back a genuine person who has my back

Cause I didn't have time, had a lot of shit up on my mind
Because I had too much on my plate and a lot to think about

Had the right, to shut up in my rhymes
Had the freedom to express myself candidly in my lyrics

To keep me sane all the time
To maintain my sanity at all times

Had a block on my brain, thinking how could shit
Had mental obstacles, wondering how things could

Ever change, trying to win the same ol' game
Ever change, while attempting to succeed in the same old system

But then I came to see, through the days of my pain
But then I came to realize, throughout my painful experiences

And struggling, that it wasn't as bad as this thang
And the hardships I faced weren't as severe as this situation

Guerilla Maab are my brothers, steady spiritual chain
Guerilla Maab is my family, a constant source of spiritual support

I'd rather live my life, the way it's suppose to be
I prefer to live my life in line with how it's meant to be lived

Then faking the fame, and trying to be somebody else
Rather than pretending to be famous and trying to be someone else

Of royalty, because it ain't my name
Of high status, because it's not my true identity

Too many problems on my mind
I have too many troubles weighing on my mind

They wish I just started, to be a full time grind
They wish I had just begun to fully dedicate myself to hard work

I'm just trying, to live my life
I'm simply attempting to live my life

But something bout piece, is something I'll never find
But something about peace is something I'll never attain

Too many problems on my mind
I have too many troubles weighing on my mind

They wish I just started, to be a full time grind
They wish I had just begun to fully dedicate myself to hard work

I'm not trying, to lose my life
I'm not attempting to put my life in danger

But if I do, I want to meet Jesus Christ
But if I do die, I want to meet Jesus Christ in the afterlife

Thinking about, what a nigga done been through
Reflecting on the hardships and challenges I've endured

Reminiscing, on a part of the past
Reflecting on and recalling a specific time in the past

Everybody thought I wouldn't last
Everyone believed I wouldn't survive or succeed

From living the things, I was dealing with
From experiencing the difficulties I was facing

Too many people, tried to reach a nigga with bullshit
Too many people attempted to confront me with nonsense

And it's like, I ain't even tripping
And it's as if I'm not even bothered

I can't let things like that, get up under my skin
I can't allow things like that to deeply affect me

I can't win, if a nigga steady be living in sin
I can't succeed if I continue to live a sinful lifestyle

I gotta keep a right mind, if I want to make dividends
I must maintain a clear and rational mindset if I want to make money

Sneak into the negative side, of my life
Infiltrate the negative aspects of my life

Even niggaz that I had love fo', turned fake
Even people I cared about and trusted turned disloyal

One of my real niggaz, just got shot nine times
A close friend of mine was shot nine times

From a nigga, that everybody really thought was down
By someone who was widely believed to be trustworthy

And who the fuck can I trust, when I grab a glock to bust
And who can I rely on when I need to resort to violence

The situation that I be facing'd, make a nigga think
The circumstances I find myself in make me reconsider my choices

Shedding tears over my older brother, gonna wait
Crying over my older brother, waiting for him

For the rest of his life, because of these niggaz living shife
For the remainder of his life, because of these deceitful individuals

For real, now tell me where the love at
Seriously, now tell me where the love is

Why all of my niggaz, want to be acting like that
Why are all my friends behaving in this manner

Is it because of the fact I'm one of the Maab, and never gon fall
Is it because I am part of the Maab and destined to succeed

And all the diamonds shine, when it's time to ball
And everyone shows support and admiration when I succeed

Will they comfort me if I waited, it was gonna get greater later
Will they console me if I endured, knowing that things would improve

I really hope so, cause I believe in God
I truly hope so because I have faith in God

And with the life that I live, I want to smile again
And with the way I live my life, I want to experience joy once more

And if I die tonight, I still want to see the light
And even if I die tonight, I still want to find peace and salvation

When I be contemplating, of a steady way
When I'm thinking about finding a stable path

To sip the liquor, up off in my mode
To drink alcohol and change my state of mind

Thinking bout the days of the past, when everybody
Reflecting on the past when everyone

Use to treat a young nigga, like Dougie so cold
Used to mistreat me, like Dougie was insignificant

But never once By-Boe, I done heard a lot of thangs
But never once, By-Boe, have I believed any of it

Seen a lot of thangs, wonder why motherfuckers be acting so strange
Witnessed many strange behaviors, wondering why people act that way

Feeling the pain, as I'm ready to ride
Feeling the pain as I'm prepared to take action

But yelling still in, know I gotta maintain
But still maintaining a strong presence, knowing I have to stay composed

I remember when some of bitches, use to tell me
I remember when some women used to tell me

Dougie you motherfucker, your ass ain't never gon be shit
Dougie, you're a failure, you'll never amount to anything

But now they turning on the T.V., watching me on BET
But now they're watching me on television

Jamming my c.d., getting crunk in this bitch
Listening to my music and having a great time

Ain't no doubt about it, in my mind that
No doubt exists in my mind that

Hate make a nigga, stronger inside
Hate makes a person stronger internally

But Dougie making the climb, but Lord knows that my body is tired
But I am making progress, yet God knows that I am weary

I need a little compassion, a little mo' breath in this rhyme
I need some understanding and a little more inspiration in this music

And I really just don't understand, why nigga want to be doing
And I truly don't comprehend why people want to engage in

The evil deed, and they want to hate on us
Evil acts and express their hatred towards us

Cause they can't fade all us, but if you know like a nigga know
Because they can't compete with us, but if you knew what I know

You niggaz would keep your distance, cause we can't be touched
You would keep your distance because we are untouchable

I've been living in the city for a short while, with the wrong crowd
I've been living in the city for a brief period, surrounded by the wrong group of people

Wish I would of known then, what I know now
I wish I had known back then what I know now

Now a nigga tripping after the cream, and follow my dreams
Now I'm chasing after money and pursuing my dreams

I'm trying to stay away, from the triple beam
I'm trying to distance myself from involvement in drug dealing

I gotta get up on a mission, it seems
I have to embark on a mission, it appears

Because I'm sick and tired, of dealing with the struggle and pain
Because I'm exhausted from dealing with hardships and suffering

The predicaments are facing me, having stress on my brain
The difficult situations I'm confronting are causing me mental stress

Don't want to go up insane, pray to God that my soul
Don't want to end up crazy, praying for God's help

I'm going deranged, and anybody want to think to testing
I'm going insane, and anyone who wants to challenge

A nigga skills, they better have a good will
My skills, they better have a strong determination

Cause I be living my life, chunking they two cents in
Because I'm living my life while disregarding their opinions

While they be living in sin, trying to tell me how to live
While they are leading sinful lives, attempting to dictate how I should live

When they ain't even living right
When they aren't even living a righteous life
